There is no need for a transition period. There is a need to allow individuals
to keep their .org's. I own one .org domain and co-own a second, each providing
web space and email accounts to a total of about 20 people. We make no money
off of this -- in fact, it costs me over $200/month. Transferring to a different
domain would cost many hours to reconfigure my server, as well as inconvenience to
about 20 people who expected these addresses to be permanent. Why shouldn't
I be allowed to keep my domains?

Restoring .org to non-profit organizations is
a good idea on the surface, but it's way, way, way too late. And with .com
for businesses, and .net supposedly for network providers, where am I supposed to
go?
